Condensed

We've had a lot happening around here lately. Instead of a mile-long post of pictures, we're collaging it. Just seems more viewer friendly and all that way, don't cha think?? Me too.

First off was a visit to AL to see Ben's grandma and great aunt and introduce them to Kaelyn. We also met up with his parents and Makenzie, Kaelyn's cousin. At the end of the visit I, in no joking manner, asked Makenzie if she could come stay with us a while. Those two girls occupied each other for hours. It was unbelievable. What a pair :)

Ben's brother and his girlfriend also stopped by for what we thought would be just lunch, but turned out to be a very entertaining gymnastics routine. The gymnastics part was provided by Jill and Makenzie; the entertaining part was provided by Chris. Complete with wardrobe adjustments (please note the shirt) and death-defying stunts (please note how he landed).

When we got back home from our trip, Kaelyn and Stormy needed a little r&r so they went to hang out in her room. After a little pep talk that I'm assuming went something like this:

Kaelyn: "Stormy, we need to talk about this. I really just don't see the point."

Stormy: "There is no point really, other than entertaining them. But I'm telling you, you should do it. They give me treats when I do!"

Kaelyn: "It just takes so much effort."

Stormy: "You can do it kid. Oh, and since you can't have treats yet, I'll just take care of it for you this time."

Kaelyn: "Ok, we'll see how this goes. I feel like a fish flopping out of water. At least that's what I just heard mom say I look like, and it sounds pretty accurate....."

Stormy: "YOU DID IT! YOU ROLLED OVER!!

WAIT.

Why is mom all excited and not breaking out the treats? I so just got ripped off."
